CL and PW sum up why we have spent a fortune and finished below newly promoted Brentford and little old Brighton. I think the current regime is improving things but, in all honesty and Ratboy aside, not by much on the player side of things. We still seem to pay top dollar and sell cheap. The fact we now sell out Villa Park, as opposed to the days when 30,000 was a reasonable crowd, hopefully means we will increase overall revenue but isn't all the shirt and tat sales dwarfed by TV money?
Our summer signings suggest we have not learnt our lessons yet.

If you look at the clubs who have hordes of day trippers such as Man U and Liverpool they make much more on a match day. Each one of those day trippers is making their annual or maybe even lifetime visit to the stadium. They'll buy all the tat they can afford. Then 2 weeks later a whole new load of day trippers arrive and repeat the process. A season ticket holder is probably going to buy once for the season. Season ticket holders aren't anywhere near as profitable as day trippers but if you become one of those clubs it comes at a cost as those who have visited these stadiums will know.
The fuck you on about Chicago? All of those are this summers signings.
Bloody Hell, even by your standards....that's a tedious argument.
